QUICK START STEPS:
==================

1. Start XAMPP (Apache + MySQL)
   → Open "XAMPP Control Panel"
   → Start Apache & MySQL

2. Create Database
   → Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin
   → Create database: noahvelle_pos
   → Import: backend/sql/schema.sql

3. Verify Installation
   → Open http://localhost/Noahvelle%20POS/backend/
   → Should see JSON API info

4. Test API
   → Use Postman or similar tool
   → POST: http://localhost/Noahvelle%20POS/backend/api/auth.php?action=login
   → Body: {"id": "admin", "pin": "1234"}

5. Connect Frontend
   → Copy API_INTEGRATION.js
   → Include in your React app
   → Follow usage examples in the file

NEXT STEPS:
===========

1. Read QUICKSTART.md for immediate setup

2. Set up the database:
   - Create database "noahvelle_pos"
   - Import schema.sql using phpMyAdmin

3. Test the API:
   - Use Postman to test endpoints
   - Verify database connection

4. Integrate with frontend:
   - Copy API_INTEGRATION.js to your React project
   - Replace fetch calls with POSApiService methods
   - Update API_BASE_URL if needed

5. Production deployment:
   - Update database credentials in config/database.php
   - Change default user PINs
   - Implement proper authentication (JWT)
   - Set up HTTPS
   - Restrict CORS to your domain


SUPPORT RESOURCES:
==================

📂 All files are in: c:\xampp\htdocs\Noahvelle POS\backend\

📖 Documentation Files:
  - QUICKSTART.md (Start here!)
  - SETUP.md
  - README.md
  - ARCHITECTURE.md
  - API_INTEGRATION.js

🐛 Debugging:
  - Check backend/logs/error.log for errors
  - Use browser console (F12) for frontend issues
  - Test API with Postman before integrating

💡 Common Issues:
  - Database not connecting? Check config/database.php credentials
  - API returns empty? Check if schema was imported
  - CORS errors? Already enabled in all endpoints
  - Stock not updating? Check transaction creation is successful


SECURITY NOTES:
===============

⚠️  BEFORE GOING TO PRODUCTION:

  ❌ Change database password (currently empty for XAMPP)
  ❌ Update user PINs with stronger values
  ❌ Implement JWT token authentication
  ❌ Use bcrypt instead of MD5 for hashing
  ❌ Restrict CORS to your specific domain
  ❌ Add input validation & sanitization
  ❌ Enable HTTPS only (no HTTP)
  ❌ Set up proper error logging
  ❌ Use environment variables for secrets
